My son was interviewed by the police after being accused of stealing alcohol from a store. Can the police interview a minor without a parent, adult, or lawyer present?

It depends how old the child is and what the purpose of the interview is. So the answer to your questions is "maybe". Further details would be needed for a clearer answer.
